The 5‐Year Capital Improvements Element is based on the 2023 population projection of 17,730 residents, as provided by the U.S. Census. Sanitary Sewer: The City of Safety Harbor owns and maintains the sanitary sewer lines located within its municipal boundaries. The age of the sewer lines varies from more than 30 years in the downtown area and less than 30 years in the central and northern sections of the City. The existing sewer lines are in good condition. The City has an ongoing replacement program for sewer lines which is funded by a water and sewer revenue fund. Local option sales tax (Penny for Pinellas) can also be used. The City has a sewer master plan that identifies needed long‐range improvements. Sewage treatment takes place at the City of Clearwater Northeast Wastewater Treatment Plant. The City of Safety Harbor has executed an agreement with the City of Clearwater for the joint ownership and utilization of this facility. The plant has a design capacity of 13.5 mgd. The City is allocated 4.0 mgd of treatment capacity. The City's level of service standard for sanitary sewer service is set at 119 gallons per capita per day (gpcd). According to data provided by the City's Public Works Department, the 2018 annual sewer flow totaled 448,498,495 gallons which represents a 0.8% decrease from the previous year. On average, the City utilized 31% of the available 4.0 mgd of treatment capacity at the Northeast Wastewater Treatment Plant. Based on the City's 2018 population estimate of 17,265 (derived from U.S. Census data), the City generated 71 gallons per capita per day (gpcd) which is 60% of the City's adopted level of service standard of 119 gpcd.

2018 LEVEL OF SERVICE REVIEW The City is currently operating at an acceptable level of service for all LOS related facilities. The 5‐Year Capital Improvements Element is based on the 2023 population projection of 17,730 residents, as provided by the U.S. Census. Sanitary Sewer: The City of Safety Harbor owns and maintains the sanitary sewer lines located within its municipal boundaries. The age of the sewer lines varies from more than 30 years in the downtown area and less than 30 years in the central and northern sections of the City. The existing sewer lines are in good condition. The City has an ongoing replacement program for sewer lines which is funded by a water and sewer revenue fund. Local option sales tax (Penny for Pinellas) can also be used. The City has a sewer master plan that identifies needed long‐range improvements. Sewage treatment takes place at the City of Clearwater Northeast Wastewater Treatment Plant. The City of Safety Harbor has executed an agreement with the City of Clearwater for the joint ownership and utilization of this facility. The plant has a design capacity of 13.5 mgd. The City is allocated 4.0 mgd of treatment capacity. The City's level of service standard for sanitary sewer service is set at 119 gallons per capita per day (gpcd). According to data provided by the City's Public Works Department, the 2018 annual sewer flow totaled 448,498,495 gallons which represents a 0.8% decrease from the previous year. On average, the City utilized 31% of the available 4.0 mgd of treatment capacity at the Northeast Wastewater Treatment Plant. Based on the City's 2018 population estimate of 17,265 (derived from U.S. Census data), the City generated 71 gallons per capita per day (gpcd) which is 60% of the City's adopted level of service standard of 119 gpcd.

Potable Water: The City of Safety Harbor is included within the Pinellas County Water Demand Planning Area as a wholesale customer of Pinellas County Utilities. Safety Harbor is responsible for the distribution system south of SR 580. There are two properties within the City of Safety Harbor municipal boundary, but outside the City's current planning area boundary, that are served as retail customers by the City of Clearwater. These properties are isolated cases, and given the current agreed upon planning area for the City of Safety Harbor, no additional demand is expected upon the City of Clearwater potable water supply system. Pinellas County is a member government of Tampa Bay Water, Inc., the regional water supply utility. Tampa Bay Water is under an agreement with its member governments to supply potable water to meet the water demands of member governments. Tampa Bay Water's Long Term Water Supply and Master Plan, which considers every project in the SWFWMD Regional Water Supply Plan, provides for sufficient water supply projects to meet the member governments' water needs over the 20‐year planning horizon. Section 163.3177, F.S., requires assurance that water suppliers coordinate their water supply planning with the Regional Water Supply Plan, where appropriate. The 10‐Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan prepared by Pinellas County Utilities reflects the long‐term funding commitment to the facilities required to support the potable water needs of Pinellas County Utilities' retail and wholesale customers. The City is allocated 2.50 mgd based on its water service agreement with Pinellas County. In 2018, the City used 525,075,860 gallons of potable water or approximately 58% of its available water supply. Based on the City's 2018 population estimate of 17,265 (derived from U.S. Census data), the consumption was 83 gpcd, which is 72% of the City’s adopted level of service threshold of 115 gpcd. (Note: U.S. Census population estimate includes those residents living north of SR 580, of which the City does not offer water service)

Solid Waste: The City provides solid waste collection service by using six collection trucks daily. Their combined capacity is 72 tons daily. The City's enterprise fund will cover the cost of future replacement vehicles. By ordinance, the City's solid waste is disposed of at the Pinellas County refuse to energy plant site. The operating capacity of the solid waste disposal system is 985,500 tons per year. In 2018, the City used 1.1% of the overall capacity by contributing 11,050 tons of solid waste. According to the County's most recent concurrency test statement (Ordinance #15‐15), the County is able to dispose of the solid waste for which it is responsible. Based on the City's 2018 population estimate of 17,265 (derived from U.S. Census data), the City generated 0.64 tons of solid waste per person in 2018 which is below the County's level of service standard of 1.30 tons/person/year.

Recycling: In 2018, the City's recycling program generated 1,735 tons of recyclable material. This represents a 13% decrease from the 2017 collection total of 2,003 tons.

Drainage: On‐site and major stormwater facilities will be required to meet the level of service standards adopted within the Safety Harbor Comprehensive Plan. The Infrastructure Element establishes a level of service for stormwater management, which is the 25‐year frequency storm, 24‐hour duration; where the post‐development discharge rate cannot exceed the pre‐development discharge rate. Therefore, applications for development will not be approved unless they conform to the adopted level of service standards. This review is overseen by the Southwest Florida Water Management District. In addition, the Capital Improvements Element of the City’s Comprehensive Plan have scheduled stormwater improvements needed to eliminate existing deficiencies. The necessary funds are available for those projects identified in the five‐year schedule. Transportation: Forward Pinellas prepares a peak hour Level of Service Report for thoroughfare roads throughout Pinellas County on an annual basis. However, during the time of this review, the 2018 Level of Service Report data was being compiled by Forward Pinellas. As such, the 2017 Level of Service Report will be used as the basis for this review. Conditions are estimated using data provided by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). According to the most recently adopted Level of Service Report, all facility segments except for McMullen Booth Road are operating at LOS "C" or better thereby meeting the City's minimum concurrency requirement. McMullen Booth Road has been identified by Pinellas County as a constrained corridor because of its limited right‐of‐way.

Recreation and Open Space: The current and projected level of service for park and recreation facilities is shown in the tables on the following page. Most of the City’s parks are located south of Enterprise Road. The park system was generally developed concurrent with the residential growth that took place during the 1970’s and 1980’s. Based on this analysis, the City of Safety Harbor is currently meeting the population based thresholds for all park types except for mini‐parks. Regarding mini parks, the Comprehensive Plan notes that “The surplus of community parks, special purpose facilities, and the nearby location of the Pinellas County District Park shall negate the need for the City to provide mini‐parks and neighborhood parks in strict conformance with the level of service standards shown by Table 1 of this Element.” (Policy 1.1.7, Recreation and Open Space Element) The City meets or exceeds the adopted level of service standard for all facility types.
